Almost forgot, in the background of the actincs picture, you see my bubble tip anemone.
The picture is not able to capture the orange tips and green tentacles it has. It looks very bleached, and it is bleached and I am trying to bring it back to health. The tentacles are getting green and I am seeing more bright orange tips starting to appear.

Screw the new JBJ. Get the RED SEA! I have a original 24 gallon JBJ. If I had the choice NOW, adn the money like then, I would not blink an eye at the JBJ. Check out the new RED SEA. Some say it is 32 others 34, does not matter. It has mroe light, mre filtration, more power, more space, a built in SKIMMER, and not a flow controlled skimmer, but a REAL skimmer. You can find it for ABOUT the same price, and every part of it is better. The new JBJ is nice, but the new RED SEA is @#%@%$# SWEET. It even anticipates the idea of adding a chiller, more power, a refugium, and has built them into the design. CHECK THE BAY OF E for the best prices I have seen.

I looked at it. It actually doesnt have more light in terms of watts per gallon. The JBJ has 150watts of metal halide. I believe the red sea is using T-5 or power compact and not enough light to keep sps. Red Sea has a cool power control unit though. The JBJ also have tubes and anything else built in for adding a chiller, power etc. But thanks for the input, i will have to look into it.

They might also be putting webcam capabilities onto the program so if someone is away they can look at their tank over the internet through the webcam. Its an awesome device. Everything is plugged into it. Also has a built it alternating wavemaker. Definetly recommend one of these if you have the money.

Reefkeeper is a digital monitor. It keeps track of your ph, temperture, turns on your powerheads (has a built in wavemaker) that alternates giving a natural flow in the tank. Also turns on/off my power compacts and metal halide lights automatically. Turns on/off the chiller and heater automatically as well. When it comes to feeding time, with a press of a button you can stop all the powerheads and the sump pump to feed and a timer will automatically count down and will turn on everything after a few minutes. Great feature if you hate unplugging and plugging everything when it comes to feeding time. (most forget to turn on their pumps after feeding, with the auto time feature, you wont have to care)
